Hi friends
We've outgrown this 800-pixel wide website and we're moving to new digs.While we pack up our things (i.e. articles and videos and stuff), we're shutting down commenting and new registrations on the current site.
Our new site is up and running at GOOD.is/.
Yours,
GOOD

I know so many who like to use exacerbate in place of exaggerate, even in positive circumstances. As someone who truly believed things were completed in "one fowl swoop," as a chicken might do, I find eggcorns endearing.
